My Big Girl

Here is Emily all dressed for school yesterday morning.  She keeps telling me "it's NOT school Mommy. It's kindergarten!"  OK then.   Anyways, she is really loving it. Her class is small about 6 kids, all girls.  She adores her teacher, which is great in my book.  And in addition to reading and writing she's also doing some very basic math (add the apples up etc) and computer skills and Spanish once a week.  Emily seems inordinately freaked out when I speak Spanish to her. "how did you know that Mommy? Who told you?"  She doesn't seem to grasp that Mommy could have learned something not in her presence.  And since I'm close to fluent in Spanish, this has her very perplexed.  HA!  Still, I'm very impressed with the work she is doing and I'm just thrilled that she loves school.  I think that's half the battle right there.  

 

Tonight we are going out for special Mommy & Emily time. I'm taking her to see the Disney Princesses on Ice "Dare to Dream"   She is beyond stoked.  Hopefully it's not too painful for me to sit thru.  I'd do anything for my girls, but it helps when they don't bore me to tears.  Tony took her to the last one, and he said he'd rather poke his eyes out than do that again.  I think he took her to Toy Story.  Anyways, here's hoping it goes ok!
